Dang - just watched a podcast on Daytona and how they have dumbed it down (a bunch of the cars are a spec series chassis with body panels draped over them) and they have even lit the track so there is no real night racing. Because it doesn't run FIA approved classes, but US specific classes, the international distance racers don't attend. Crowd attendance has gone from full grandstands to sparcely filled grandstands. Shame

yeah, this is the problem. alms is where it's at. grand am is just an alternative for teams that can't afford to run in alms. but with alms adding the challenge classes, grand am might disappear completely.
